1201METHOD 25 - DETERMINATION OF TOTAL GASEOUS NONMETHANEORGANIC EMISSIONS AS CARBON1.0 Scope and Application.1.1 Analytes.AnalyteCAS No.SensitivityTotal gaseous nonmethaneorganic compounds(TGNMO)N/ADependent uponanalytical equipment1.2 Applicability.1.2.1 This method is applicable for the determinationof volatile organic compounds (VOC) (measured as totalgaseous nonmethane organics (TGNMO) and reported as carbon)in stationary source emissions. This method is notapplicable for the determination of organic particulatematter.1.2.2 This method is not the only method that appliesto the measurement of VOC. Costs, logistics, and otherpracticalities of source testing may make other test methodsmore desirable for measuring VOC contents of certaineffluent streams. Proper judgment is required indetermining the most applicable VOC test method. Forexample, depending upon the molecular composition of theorganics in the effluent stream, a totally automatedsemicontinuous nonmethane organics (NMO) analyzer interfaceddirectly to the source may yield accurate results. This1202approach has the advantage of providing emission datasemicontinuously over an extended time period.1.2.3 Direct measurement of an effluent with a flameionization detector (FID) analyzer may be appropriate withprior characterization of the gas stream and knowledge thatthe detector responds predictably to the organic compoundsin the stream. If present, methane (CH4) will, of course,also be measured. The FID can be used under any of thefollowing limited conditions: (1) where only one compound isknown to exist; (2) when the organic compounds consist ofonly hydrogen and carbon; (3) where the relative percentagesof the compounds are known or can be determined, and the FIDresponses to the compounds are known; (4) where a consistentmixture of the compounds exists before and after emissioncontrol and only the relative concentrations are to beassessed; or (5) where the FID can be calibrated againstmass standards of the compounds emitted (solvent emissions,for example).1.2.4 Another example of the use of a direct FID isas a screening method. If there is enough informationavailable to provide a rough estimate of the analyzeraccuracy, the FID analyzer can be used to determine the VOCcontent of an uncharacterized gas stream. With a sufficientbuffer to account for possible inaccuracies, the direct FID1203can be a useful tool to obtain the desired results withoutcostly exact determination.1.2.5 In situations where a qualitative/quantitativeanalysis of an effluent stream is desired or required, a gaschromatographic FID system may apply. However, for sourcesemitting numerous organics, the time and expense of thisapproach will be formidable.2.0 Summary of Method.2.1 An emission sample is withdrawn from the stack ata constant rate through a heated filter and a chilledcondensate trap by means of an evacuated sample tank. Aftersampling is completed, the TGNMO are determined byindependently analyzing the condensate trap and sample tankfractions and combining the analytical results. The organiccontent of the condensate trap fraction is determined byoxidizing the NMO to carbon dioxide (CO2) and quantitativelycollecting in the effluent in an evacuated vessel; then aportion of the CO2 is reduced to CH4 and measured by an FID. The organic content of the sample tank fraction is measuredby injecting a portion of the sample into a gaschromatographic column to separate the NMO from carbonmonoxide (CO), CO2, and CH4; the NMO are oxidized to CO2,reduced to CH4, and measured by an FID. In this manner, the1204variable response of the FID associated with different typesof organics is eliminated.3.0 Definitions. Reserved4.0 Interferences. 4.1 Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapor. When carbondioxide (CO2) and water vapor are present together in thestack, they can produce a positive bias in the sample. Themagnitude of the bias depends on the concentrations of CO2and water vapor. As a guideline, multiply the CO2concentration, expressed as volume percent, times the watervapor concentration. If this product does not exceed 100,the bias can be considered insignificant. For example, thebias is not significant for a source having 10 percent CO2and 10 percent water vapor, but it might be significant fora source having 10 percent CO2 and 20 percent water vapor.4.2. Particulate Matter. Collection of organicparticulate matter in the condensate trap would produce apositive bias. A filter is included in the samplingequipment to minimize this bias.5.0 Safety.5.1 Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardousmaterials, operations, and equipment. This test method maynot address all of the safety problems associated with itsuse. It is the responsibility of the user of this test1205method to establish appropriate safety and health practicesand determine the applicability of regulatory limitationsprior to performing this test method.6.0 Equipment and Supplies.6.1 Sample Collection.

Before its initialuse and after each use, a condensate trap should bethoroughly cleaned and checked to ensure that it is not1216contaminated. Both cleaning and checking can beaccomplished by installing the trap in the condensaterecovery system and treating it as if it were a sample. Thetrap should be heated as described in Section 11.1.3. Atrap may be considered clean when the CO2 concentration inits effluent gas drops below 10 ppm. This check is optionalfor traps that most recently have been used to collectsamples which were then recovered according to the procedurein Section 11.1.3.8.1.2 Sample Tank Evacuation and Leak-Check. Evacuate the sample tank to 10 mm Hg absolute pressure orless. Then close the sample tank valve, and allow the tankto sit for 60 minutes. The tank is acceptable if a changein tank vacuum of less than 1 mm Hg is noted. Theevacuation and leak-check may be conducted either in thelaboratory or the field.8.1.3 Sampling Train Assembly. Just before assembly,measure the tank vacuum using a mercury manometer. Recordthis vacuum, the ambient temperature, and the barometricpressure at this time. Close the sample tank valve andassemble the sampling system as shown in Figure 25-1. Immerse the condensate trap body in dry ice at least 30minutes before commencing sampling to improve collectionefficiency. The point where the inlet tube joins the trap1217body should be 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 in.) above the top of thedry ice.8.1.4 Pretest Leak-Check. A pretest leak-check isrequired. Calculate or measure the approximate volume ofthe sampling train from the probe tip to the sample tankvalve. After assembling the sampling train, plug the probetip, and make certain that the sample tank valve is closed. Turn on the vacuum pump, and evacuate the sampling systemfrom the probe tip to the sample tank valve to an absolutepressure of 10 mm Hg or less. Close the purge valve, turnoff the pump, wait a minimum period of 10 minutes, andrecheck the indicated vacuum. Calculate the maximumallowable pressure change based on a leak rate of 1 percentof the sampling rate using Equation 25-1, Section 12.2. Ifthe measured pressure change exceeds the allowable, correctthe problem and repeat the leak-check before beginningsampling.8.2 Sample Collection.8.2.1 Unplug the probe tip, and place the probe intothe stack such that the probe is perpendicular to the ductor stack axis; locate the probe tip at a single preselectedpoint of average velocity facing away from the direction ofgas flow. For stacks having a negative static pressure,seal the sample port sufficiently to prevent air in-leakagearound the probe. Set the probe temperature controller to1218129 EC (265 EF) and the filter temperature controller to 121EC (250 EF). Allow the probe and filter to heat for about30 minutes before purging the sample train.8.2.2 Close the sample valve, open the purge valve,and start the vacuum pump. Set the flow rate between 60 and100 cm3/min (0.13 and 0.21 ft3/hr), and purge the train withstack gas for at least 10 minutes.8.2.3 When the temperatures at the exit ends of theprobe and filter are within the corresponding specifiedranges, check the dry ice level around the condensate trap,and add dry ice if necessary. Record the clock time. Tobegin sampling, close the purge valve and stop the pump. Open the sample valve and the sample tank valve. Using theflow control valve, set the flow through the sample train tothe proper rate. Adjust the flow rate as necessary tomaintain a constant rate (10 percent) throughout theduration of the sampling period. Record the sample tankvacuum and flowmeter setting at 5-minute intervals. (SeeFigure 25-8.) Select a total sample time greater than orequal to the minimum sampling time specified in theapplicable subpart of the regulations; end the sampling whenthis time period is reached or when a constant flow rate canno longer be maintained because of reduced sample tankvacuum.1219NOTE: If sampling had to be stopped before obtainingthe minimum sampling time (specified in the applicablesubpart) because a constant flow rate could not bemaintained, proceed as follows: After closing the sampletank valve, remove the used sample tank from the samplingtrain (without disconnecting other portions of the samplingtrain). Take another evacuated and leak-checked sampletank, measure and record the tank vacuum, and attach the newtank to the sampling train. After the new tank is attachedto the sample train, proceed with the sampling until therequired minimum sampling time has been exceeded.8.3 Sample Recovery. After sampling is completed,close the flow control valve, and record the final tankvacuum; then record the tank temperature and barometricpressure. Close the sample tank valve, and disconnect thesample tank from the sample system. Disconnect thecondensate trap at the inlet to the rate meter, and tightlyseal both ends of the condensate trap. Do not include theprobe from the stack to the filter as part of the condensatesample.8.4 Sample Storage and Transport. Keep the trappacked in dry ice until the samples are returned to thelaboratory for analysis. Ensure that run numbers areidentified on the condensate trap and the sample tank(s).12209.0 Quality Control.SectionQuality ControlMeasureEffect10.1.1Initial performancecheck of condensaterecovery apparatusEnsure acceptablecondensate recoveryefficiency10.1.2,10.2NMO analyzer initialand daily performancechecksEnsure precision ofanalytical results11.3Audit Sample AnalysesEvaluate analyticaltechnique andinstrument calibration10.0 Calibration and Standardization.NOTE: Maintain a record of performance of each item.10.1 Initial Performance Checks.10.1.1 Condensate Recovery Apparatus.

The total concentrationmust be less than 5 ppm.10.1.1.2 Oxidation Catalyst Efficiency Check.122110.1.1.2.1 With a clean condensate trap installed inthe recovery system or a 1/8 stainless steel connectortube, replace the carrier gas cylinder with the high levelmethane standard gas cylinder (Section 7.4.1). Set thefour-port valve to the recovery position, and attach an ICVto the recovery system. With the sample recovery valve invent position and the flow-control and ICV valves fullyopen, evacuate the manometer or gauge, the connectingtubing, and the ICV to 10 mm Hg absolute pressure. Closethe flow-control and vacuum pump valves.10.1.1.2.2 After the NDIR response has stabilized,switch the sample recovery valve from vent to collect. Whenthe manometer or pressure gauge begins to register a slightpositive pressure, open the flow-control valve. Keep theflow adjusted such that the pressure in the system ismaintained within 10 percent of atmospheric pressure. Continue collecting the sample in a normal manner until theICV is filled to a nominal gauge pressure of 300 mm Hg. Close the ICV valve, and remove the ICV from the system. Place the sample recovery valve in the vent position, andreturn the recovery system to its normal carrier gas andnormal operating conditions. Analyze the ICV for CO2 usingthe NMO analyzer; the catalyst efficiency is acceptable ifthe CO2 concentration is within 2 percent of the methanestandard concentration.122210.1.1.3 System Performance Check. Construct aliquid sample injection unit similar in design to the unitshown in Figure 25-7. Insert this unit into the condensaterecovery and conditioning system in place of a condensatetrap, and set the carrier gas and auxiliary O2 flow rates tonormal operating levels. Attach an evacuated ICV to thesystem, and switch from system vent to collect. With thecarrier gas routed through the injection unit and theoxidation catalyst, inject a liquid sample (see Sections10.1.1.3.1 to 10.1.1.3.4) into the injection port. Operatethe trap recovery system as described in Section 11.1.3. Measure the final ICV pressure, and then analyze the vesselto determine the CO2 concentration. For each injection,calculate the percent recovery according to Section 12.7. Calculate the relative standard deviation for each set oftriplicate injections according to Section 12.8. Theperformance test is acceptable if the average percentrecovery is 100 5 percent and the relative standarddeviation is less than 2 percent for each set of triplicateinjections.10.1.1.3.1 50 l hexane.10.1.1.3.2 10 l hexane.10.1.1.3.3 50 l decane.10.1.1.3.4 10 l decane.122310.1.2 NMO Analyzer.

While operating both the oxidation and reduction catalysts,conduct a linearity check of the analyzer using the propanestandards specified in Section 7.4.2. Make triplicateinjections of each calibration gas. For each gas (i.e.,each set of triplicate injections), calculate the averageresponse factor (area/ppm C) for each gas, as well as and1224the relative standard deviation (according to Section 12.8). Then calculate the overall mean of the response factorvalues. The instrument linearity is acceptable if theaverage response factor of each calibration gas is within2.5 percent of the overall mean value and if the relativestandard deviation gas is less than 2 percent of the overallmean value. Record the overall mean of the propane responsefactor values as the NMO calibration response factor (RFNMO).Repeat the linearity check using the CO2 standards specifiedin Section 7.4.3. Make triplicate injections of each gas,and then calculate the average response factor (area/ppm C)for each gas, as well as the overall mean of the responsefactor values. Record the overall mean of the responsefactor values as the CO2 calibration response factor (RFCO2). The RFCO2 must be within 10 percent of the RFNMO.10.1.2.4 System Performance Check. Check the columnseparation and overall performance of the analyzer by makingtriplicate injections of the calibration gases listed inSection 7.4.4. The analyzer performance is acceptable ifthe measured NMO value for each gas (average of triplicateinjections) is within 5 percent of the expected value.10.2 NMO Analyzer Daily Calibration. The followingcalibration procedures shall be performed before andimmediately after the analysis of each set of samples, or ona daily basis, whichever is more stringent:122510.2.1 CO2 Response Factor. Inject triplicatesamples of the high level CO2 calibration gas (Section7.4.3), and calculate the average response factor. Thesystem operation is adequate if the calculated responsefactor is within 5 percent of the RFCO2 calculated during theinitial performance test (Section 10.1.2.3). Use the dailyresponse factor (DRFCO2) for analyzer calibration and thecalculation of measured CO2 concentrations in the ICVsamples.10.2.2 NMO Response Factors. Inject triplicatesamples of the mixed propane calibration cylinder gas(Section 7.4.4.1), and calculate the average NMO responsefactor.

Usethe daily response factor (DRFNMO) for analyzer calibrationand calculation of NMO concentrations in the sample tanks.10.3 Sample Tank and ICV Volume. The volume of thegas sampling tanks used must be determined. Determine thetank and ICV volumes by weighing them empty and then filledwith deionized distilled water; weigh to the nearest 5 g,and record the results. Alternatively, measure the volumeof water used to fill them to the nearest 5 ml.11.0 Analytical Procedure.122611.1 Condensate Recovery. See Figure 25-9. Set thecarrier gas flow rate, and heat the catalyst to itsoperating temperature to condition the apparatus.11.1.1 Daily Performance Checks. Each day beforeanalyzing any samples, perform the following tests:11.1.1.1 Leak-Check. With the carrier gas inlets andthe sample recovery valve closed, install a clean condensatetrap in the system, and evacuate the system to 10 mm Hgabsolute pressure or less. Monitor the system pressure for10 minutes. The system is acceptable if the pressure changeis less than 2 mm Hg.11.1.1.2 System Background Test. Adjust the carriergas and auxiliary oxygen flow rate to their normal values of100 cc/min and 150 cc/min, respectively, with the samplerecovery valve in vent position. Using a 10-ml syringe,withdraw a sample from the system effluent through thesyringe port. Inject this sample into the NMO analyzer, andmeasure the CO2 content. The system background isacceptable if the CO2 concentration is less than 10 ppm.11.1.1.3 Oxidation Catalyst Efficiency Check. Conduct a catalyst efficiency test as specified in Section10.1.1.2. If the criterion of this test cannot be met, makethe necessary repairs to the system before proceeding.11.1.2 Condensate Trap CO2 Purge and Sample TankPressurization. 122711.1.2.1 After sampling is completed, the condensatetrap will contain condensed water and organics and a smallvolume of sampled gas. This gas from the stack may containa significant amount of CO2 which must be removed from thecondensate trap before the sample is recovered. This isaccomplished by purging the condensate trap with zero airand collecting the purged gas in the original sample tank.11.1.2.2 Begin with the sample tank and condensatetrap from the test run to be analyzed. Set the four-portvalve of the condensate recovery system in the CO2 purgeposition as shown in Figure 25-9. With the sample tankvalve closed, attach the sample tank to the sample recoverysystem. With the sample recovery valve in the vent positionand the flow control valve fully open, evacuate themanometer or pressure gauge to the vacuum of the sampletank. Next, close the vacuum pump valve, open the sampletank valve, and record the tank pressure.11.1.2.3 Attach the dry ice-cooled condensate trap tothe recovery system, and initiate the purge by switching thesample recovery valve from vent to collect position. Adjustthe flow control valve to maintain atmospheric pressure inthe recovery system. Continue the purge until the CO2concentration of the trap effluent is less than 5 ppm. CO2concentration in the trap effluent should be measured byextracting syringe samples from the recovery system and1228analyzing the samples with the NMO analyzer. This procedureshould be used only after the NDIR response has reached aminimum level. Using a 10-ml syringe, extract a sample fromthe syringe port prior to the NDIR, and inject this sampleinto the NMO analyzer.11.1.2.4 After the completion of the CO2 purge, usethe carrier gas bypass valve to pressurize the sample tankto approximately 1,060 mm Hg absolute pressure with zeroair.11.1.3 Recovery of the Condensate Trap Sample (SeeFigure 25-10).11.1.3.1 Attach the ICV to the sample recoverysystem. With the sample recovery valve in a closedposition, between vent and collect, and the flow control andICV valves fully open, evacuate the manometer or gauge, theconnecting tubing, and the ICV to 10 mm Hg absolutepressure. Close the flow-control and vacuum pump valves.11.1.3.2 Begin auxiliary oxygen flow to the oxidationcatalyst at a rate of 150 cc/min, then switch the four-wayvalve to the trap recovery position and the sample recoveryvalve to collect position. The system should now be set upto operate as indicated in Figure 25-10. After themanometer or pressure gauge begins to register a slightpositive pressure, open the flow control valve. Adjust the1229flow-control valve to maintain atmospheric pressure in thesystem within 10 percent.11.1.3.3 Remove the condensate trap from the dry ice,and allow it to warm to ambient temperature while monitoringthe NDIR response. If, after 5 minutes, the CO2concentration of the catalyst effluent is below 10,000 ppm,discontinue the auxiliary oxygen flow to the oxidationcatalyst. Begin heating the trap by placing it in a furnacepreheated to 200 EC (390 EF). Once heating has begun,carefully monitor the NDIR response to ensure that thecatalyst effluent concentration does not exceed 50,000 ppm. Whenever the CO2 concentration exceeds 50,000 ppm, supplyauxiliary oxygen to the catalyst at the rate of 150 cc/min. Begin heating the tubing that connected the heated samplebox to the condensate trap only after the CO2 concentrationfalls below 10,000 ppm. This tubing may be heated in thesame oven as the condensate trap or with an auxiliary heatsource such as a heat gun. Heating temperature must notexceed 200 EC (390 EF). If a heat gun is used, heat thetubing slowly along its entire length from the upstream endto the downstream end, and repeat the pattern for a total ofthree times. Continue the recovery until the CO2concentration drops to less than 10 ppm as determined bysyringe injection as described under the condensate trap CO2purge procedure (Section 11.1.2).123011.1.3.4 After the sample recovery is completed, usethe carrier gas bypass valve to pressurize the ICV toapproximately 1060 mm Hg absolute pressure with zero air.11.2 Analysis. Once the initial performance test ofthe NMO analyzer has been successfully completed (seeSection 10.1.2) and the daily CO2 and NMO response factorshave been determined (see Section 10.2), proceed with sampleanalysis as follows:11.2.1 Operating Conditions. The carrier gas flowrate is 29.5 cc/min He and 2.2 cc/min O2. The column ovenis heated to 85 EC (185 EF). The order of elution for thesample from the column is CO, CH4, CO2, and NMO.11.2.2 Analysis of Recovered Condensate Sample. Purge the sample loop with sample, and then inject thesample. Under the specified operating conditions, the CO2in the sample will elute in approximately 100 seconds. Assoon as the detector response returns to baseline followingthe CO2 peak, switch the carrier gas flow to backflush, andraise the column oven temperature to 195 EC (380 EF) asrapidly as possible. A rate of 30 EC/min (90 EF) has beenshown to be adequate. Record the value obtained for thecondensible organic material (Ccm) measured as CO2 and anymeasured NMO. Return the column oven temperature to 85 EC(185 EF) in preparation for the next analysis. Analyze eachsample in triplicate, and report the average Ccm.123111.2.3 Analysis of Sample Tank. Perform the analysisas described in Section 11.2.2, but record only the valuemeasured for NMO (Ctm).11.3 Audit Sample Analysis. 11.3.1 When the method is used to analyze samples todemonstrate compliance with a source emission regulation, an audit sample, if available, must be analyzed.11.3.2 Concurrently analyze the audit sample and thecompliance samples in the same manner to evaluate thetechnique of the analyst and the standards preparation. 11.3.3 The same analyst, analytical reagents, andanalytical system must be used for the compliance samplesand the audit sample. If this condition is met, duplicateauditing of subsequent compliance analyses for the sameenforcement agency within a 30-day period is waived. Anaudit sample set may not be used to validate different setsof compliance samples under the jurisdiction of separateenforcement agencies, unless prior arrangements have beenmade with both enforcement agencies.11.4 Audit Sample Results.11.4.1 Calculate the audit sample concentrations and submit results using the instructions provided with theaudit samples. 11.4.2 Report the results of the audit samples andthe compliance determination samples along with their1232identification numbers, and the analysts name to theresponsible enforcement authority. Include this informationwith reports of any subsequent compliance analyses for thesame enforcement authority during the 30-day period.11.4.3 The concentrations of the audit samplesobtained by the analyst must agree within 20 percent of theactual concentration. If the 20-percent specification isnot met, reanalyze the compliance and audit samples, andinclude initial and reanalysis values in the test report.11.4.4 Failure to meet the 20-percent specificationmay require retests until the audit problems are resolved. However, if the audit results do not affect the complianceor noncompliance status of the affected facility, theAdministrator may waive the reanalysis requirement, furtheraudits, or retests and accept the results of the compliancetest. While steps are being taken to resolve audit analysisproblems, the Administrator may also choose to use the datato determine the compliance or noncompliance status of theaffected facility.12.0 Data Analysis and Calculations. Carry out the calculations, retaining at least one extrasignificant figure beyond that of the acquired data. Roundoff figures after final calculations. All equations arewritten using absolute pressure; absolute pressures are1233determined by adding the measured barometric pressure to themeasured gauge or manometer pressure.12.1 Nomenclature.C =TGNMO concentration of the effluent, ppm Cequivalent.Cc =Calculated condensible organic (condensate trap)concentration of the effluent, ppm C equivalent.Ccm = Measured concentration (NMO analyzer) for thecondensate trap ICV, ppm CO2.Ct =Calculated noncondensible organic concentration(sample tank) of the effluent, ppm C equivalent.Ctm = Measured concentration (NMO analyzer) for thesample tank, ppm NMO.F =Sampling flow rate, cc/min.L =Volume of liquid injected, l.M =Molecular weight of the liquid injected, g/g-mole.Mc =TGNMO mass concentration of the effluent, mgC/dsm3.N =Carbon number of the liquid compound injected (N = 12 for decane, N = 6 for hexane).n =Number of data points.Pf =Final pressure of the intermediate collectionvessel, mm Hg absolute.Pb =Barometric pressure, cm Hg.1234Pti = Gas sample tank pressure before sampling, mm Hgabsolute.Pt =Gas sample tank pressure after sampling, butbefore pressurizing, mm Hg absolute.Ptf = Final gas sample tank pressure afterpressurizing, mm Hg absolute.q =Total number of analyzer injections ofintermediate collection vessel during analysis(where k = injection number, 1 . q).r =Total number of analyzer injections of sampletank during analysis (where j = injectionnumber, 1 . r).r =Density of liquid injected, g/cc.Tf =Final temperature of intermediate collectionvessel, EK.Tti = Sample tank temperature before sampling, EK.Tt =Sample tank temperature at completion ofsampling, EK.Ttf = Sample tank temperature after pressurizing, EK.V =Sample tank vo
